Spacewalking in the Archive: Trans*Atlantic Black Feminist Lives
Wednesday, 20 October 2021
Devlin Hall 101, 5:00-6:30 pm
 
Professor Polk’s lecture recovers the histories of two “wayward” women whose trans/national routes towards self-determination in the twentieth century expand the historiography of Black feminism in Germany and destabilize canonical understandings of freedom and citizenship for the African Atlantic subject in exile.
